Job Description
Brookhaven National Laboratory is committed to employee success and we believe that a comprehensive employee benefits program is an important and meaningful part of the compensation employees receive. Review more information at BNL Benefits Program
Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is the building site for the ElectronIon Collider (EIC) a oneofakind nuclear physics research facility. The EIC will be a discovery machine for unlocking the secrets of the glue that binds the building blocks of visible matter in the universe. The machine design is based on the existing and highly optimized RHIC IonIon collider. It will consist of two intersecting accelerators one producing an intense beam of electrons the other a beam of protons or heavier atomic nuclei which are steered into collisions. Beyond sparking scientific discoveries in a new frontier of fundamental physics the ElectronIon Collider will trigger technological breakthroughs that have broadranging impact on human health and national challenges.
